Booking occurs right after a person is arrested and taken back to the police station or jail.
There are a series of steps in the booking process:
- Mugshots will be taken
- As will Fingerprints
- The defendant’s name and accused crime will be noted
- A full body search will be
- The suspect’s clothes will be confiscated and replaced with a jumpsuit
- Any personal items will be confiscated
- Any outstanding warrants for the suspect will be checked for
- DNA samples will be taken
